Possibility to save uploads in one database table? #260

Hi,

This is a pre-install question. I'm developing a new application and am looking for a good plugin that can handle file & image uploads (with image resizing).

At first glance, the behaviour of this plugin is you have to create 2 new fields (filename en filedir) for each file you'd like to save? I'd like to have one single "uploads" table for file uploads for each possible model. A bit like the Core Translate behaviour works actually. In this "uploads" table I would like each row to contain a "model_name", "model_key", "file_dir", "file_name" for example. So the information of all my uploads can be stored in one single database table instead of dispersed over the different tables that have uploads.

Is this in a way possible or not? Thanks

Yes, this is possible. You just attach the behaviour to the association. So if Posts hasMany Uploads you would attach the behaviour in the Uploads table class.

I have done this in my example application. https://github.com/davidyell/CakePHP3-Proffer-Example/blob/master/src/Model/Table/UploadsTable.php#L42
